The amphibious hovercraft Christy 6183 is intended for year-round operation in any climatic zone. The amphibious hovercraft Christy 6183 is a universal vehicle! Spheres of operation: Christy 6183 is operated as a personal vehicle (for hunting, fishing, tourism) as well as in some spheres of professional activity, including. ‘* Frontier services ~ Federal Security Service (FSB), Federal Protective Service (FSO) © Coast guard ‘© Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) and its Main Office for Transport ‘* Ministry of Emergency Situations ilot services ‘¢ State Inspection of Small Vessels (GIMS) ¢ Ministry of Health Hovercrafts are used also in the following events: + Patrolling of territories * Environmental measures ‘© Ecotourism © Water taxi Miltary operations ‘* Geological prospecting Hovercraft operation conditions: ‘Year-round operation at outdoor temperature from -25°C to +30°C and maximum wind speed of 15 m/sec. The hovercraft can operate on different kinds of surface: water, sand, grass, shoal, marsh land, ice (thin ice and ice clearing), snow, rough terrain... The time of continuous motion on slough ice and slush should be limited to prevent possible icing at temperatures from 0°C to ~9°C. ‘The hovercraft can climb a slope up to 30° with acceleration as well as sloping banks, Fills and shoals. www.christyhovercraft.ru 03.PDF 20.07.2013GiD CHRISTY 6183 HOVERCRAFT DESCRIPTION Hull The hull of hovercraft is made of composite materials by contact moulding with a varying thickness to provide maximum durability at minimum weight The material is resistant to mechanical impact and chemicals (oil, fuel, hydraulic fluid ete.) Various foam fillers are used to increase stiffness of vibration and sound insulation The hull has antiskid coating where it is needed. The hovercraft is equipped with four hoisting rings for handling, designed for hovercraft weight with full fuel tanks. Cabin: The cabin is also made of composite materials. It has a laminated windshield (triplex) Side windows are made of tempered impact-proof glass. Large glass area provides maximum panorama view. There are two windshield wipers with washer sprayers provided. The wipers have interval (cyclic) mode. The cabin has two lifting doors with windows and lock. Two big doors are top-hinged and open like a “gull wing”. Opened doors can be fixed in their upper position providing easy access for passengers and crew. The hovercraft is fitted with emergency exit hatch in the rear or on the top of the cabin. Headlight detector with remote control (IR radio console or joystick from dash panel) and navigational lights are installed on the roof of the cabin or in the aerodynamic ring. Navigational antenna and special sound alarm equipment can be installed at customer wish. Inside the cabin there are 2 separate seats and 2 sofas each for 2 passengers. Hovercraft is fitted with efficient heating facilities for windshield and cabin as a whole. It provides enough heating and ventilation of the cabin at high and low values of outdoor temperature. Pilot's seat is situated in the front left part (as in the car) The control zone includes steering column, throttle and clutch pedal, gas lever of the lifting fan and a full set of measuring devices. There are LED lamps with discrete white or red light for map reading in the cabin The pilot's seat and all control panels can have optionally central position. Cabin floor is covered with geleoat or vinyl (at customer choice). www.christyhovercraft.ru 03.PDF 20.07.2013GID Christy 6183 HOVERCRAFT DESCRIPTION Flexible Skirt: The flexible skirt is two-level, of classic type: first level - solid second level — removable elements The flexible skirt itself is made of dense material: nylon with neoprene coating. It is resistant to mechanical impacts (friction, tear, abrasion etc.) The skirt itself is made of dense air tight fabric. Main characteristics of the fabric: * Abrasion resistance (the lowest coefficient of friction) igh flexibility and elasticity even at low temperatures (to -35 °C) Ultraviolet radiation resistance © Oil products resistance Power plant: Thrust and lift systems of the hovercraft are separate, which has a positive effect on running characteristics of the lft system. The greater part of the lifting air is supplied to the front of the cushion system for higher efficiency when the craft is hovering at high speed over stormy water. In addition, a lift fan is located in such a way that air is injected directly into the lift system to reduce losses in the ducts and bends. The hovercraft is equipped with two four-stroke engines. Each of them has electric starter. The first engine — axial lft fan drive: 23 hp., with air cooling (two cylinders, carburetor), Daihatsu (Japan). The second - thrust fan drive: 165 h.p., with closed system of water cooling (four cylinders, injector), Subaru (Japan). Fuel system is equipped with electric fuel pump. Capacity of an automobile fuel tank is 70 liters, an additional tank of 100 liters is possible. Easy separate control of engines mode allows © To use the lft system without starting thrust engine © To achieve full thrust keeping the craft afloat without lifting on the cushion. The separate location of the thrust and lift systems also improves hovercraft balance. Various loads should be located as close to the pressure center of the lift system as possible to minimize their effect on the hovercraft balance. A balanced hovercraft is more controllable and requires less power for thrust, which significantly increases engine life and reduces fuel consumption. Two-engine scheme allows us to use a thrust engine of less power; therefore both engines can be smaller, lighter and more economical than in one-engine scheme. Less weight in its tur demands less power. Thus, we get double effect and excellent result! www.christyhovercraft.ru 03.PDF 20.07.2013fone Pattee ay HOVERCRAFT DESCRIPTION Transmission: The power from the engine to the blade is transmitted by the gear PRSU. Fan: Lift fan (for cushion creation): 9 blades — diameter of 710 mm. Aviation propeller (for thrust creation): 6 blades — diameter of 1600 mm. Material of the blades: Glass Reinforce polyamide Electrical system: The craft is equipped with’ ‘© 12V power supply system #55 A/hour storage battery * Ignition lock and start buttons Fuses ‘* Two cigarette lighter sockets for connection of additional equipment and devices Fire prevent Fire detector is installed in the engine compartment and connected to alarm on the control panel. Engine compartment is equipped with fixed carbon dioxide fire extinguishers that can be activated from control position. Additional portable CO2 extinguishers are installed inside the cabin. Areas in the engine compartment exposed to heat are protected with stainless steel thermal shields. Exhaust system is also protected to reduce heat radiation. Rescue and emergency equipment: Life jackets on the number of passenger seats, heaving line with a light buoy are included. Stability of the hovercraft: In any operational case of loading the hovercraft meets stability requirements of the Russian River Register applied to hovercraft. www.christyhovercraft.ru OF 20.07.21 5ose Pa eet HOVERCRAFT DESCRIPTION Amphibious qualities: Amphibious qualities of the hovercraft are provided by lifting the hull off the surface due to air cushion created and kept under the hull by the skirt. The height depends upon the engines rpm speed and trim angle. Maximum air cushion height is about 40 cm The (flexible) skirt is a fully pressurized tapered bag and finger system. The bag pressure is higher than the cushion pressure and is regulated by control holes in the inner membrane of the bag. This system is well proven to be the most stable and dynamically efficient skirt system available for amphibious hovercrafts today. Reliability: The construction units were designed taking into account years of successful experience in operation of various hovercraft models and building the previous models Christy 6132 and Christy 6143 since 2009. The hovercraft is made of high quality composite materials. All its parts and equipment are manufactured by companies having ISO 9001 certificate on these parts and equipment that confirms quality management and ensures the quality of products (in the Russian Federation 1SO $001 standard corresponds to TOCT P ICO 9001-2001). OPTIONS Separately can be fitted: ‘¢ Navigational antenna and special sound alarm equipment * Rain-sensor for automatic mode of wipers Seats that can be transformed into berths. # Safety belts ¢ Folding table for 4 seats ¢ Cabin trim of flame retardant fabric Air conditioner and WEBASTO heater ‘© Additional device for deeper monitoring of engine operation as well as its diagnostics, in case of its failure, with WIFI, Bluetooth or USB transmitting to any LCD monitor, communicator or computer ‘* Any navigation system with connection to standard wiring wow.christyhovercraft.ru s-PDF 20.07.20 é
